how to set up SD card 1. backup your sd card(copy all your files on to pc) 2. boot into recovery 3. select Partition sd card 4. select Partition sd 5. when that is done select SD:ext2 to ext3 you can use the default values when it asks 6. Flash rom then you can copy all your files back to your sd card. To see if A2SD is working Code (Text): adb shell a2sd check if you get something like Code (Text): drwxrwx--x system system 2010-05-24 10:26 dalvik-cache drwxr-xr-x system system 2010-05-24 09:28 tombstones drwxrwx--x shell shell 2010-05-23 13:59 local drwxrwxr-x system system 2010-05-24 10:58 system drwxrwx--x system system 2010-05-23 13:59 app-private drwxrwx--x system system 2010-05-23 13:55 app drwxrwxrwx root root 2010-05-23 13:59 DxDrm drwxr-x--- root log 2010-05-23 13:59 dontpanic drwxrwxrwx bluetooth bluetooth 2010-05-24 10:27 btips drwxrwx--x system system 2010-05-23 14:00 anr drwx------ root root 2010-05-24 10:22 property lrwxrwxrwx root root 2010-05-23 16:39 drm -> /data/local drwxrwx--t system misc 2010-05-23 13:59 misc drwxr-xr-x root root 2008-08-01 05:00 data -rw-r--r-- root root 11936 2008-08-01 05:00 firstboot.sh drwx------ system system 2010-05-24 10:26 backup -rw-rw-rw- media system 2 2010-05-24 10:58 pvcodec.txt drwxrwx--- root root 2010-05-23 13:59 lost+found drwxrwxrwx wimax wimax 2010-05-23 13:59 wimax run Code (Text): adb shell a2sd repair and if you get something like Code (Text): Starting Apps2SD script for DConfig at 05-24-2010 17:04:21 setting variables from default dc.conf in /system/etc/ : not found : not found : not found : not found : not found : not found : not found : not found : not found : not found : not found : not found : not found [ ] checking variables [ ] Searching for Mount Point...

yes i am but willl (hopefully) be on root soon, and i want to start from begining. so that when/if i get root im ready and can get everything over with ASAP. so from the very first step
all you need to do is partition the sd card. if a ROM has a2sd enabled then it does all the work for u
how do i partion it? 1. backup your sd card(copy all your files on to pc) 2. boot into recovery 3. select Partition sd card 4. select Partition sd 5. when that is done select SD:ext2 to ext3 you can use the default values when it asks 6. Flash rom then you can copy all your files back to your sd card.
how do i tell if my apps are on my sdcard? i just followed your instructions and i don't know if they are on my sdcard or not... after i finished moving my files back to my phone i just did a nandroid restore... was that stupid? should i just start over?
the nand backup was stupid xD ok so im not sure where you are in the setup and what rom your using etc. first. what rom are you using? second. go to terminal and run these commands adb shell cd data ls -l copy paste what comes out and let me see it.
i am using the ic3 rom drwxrwx--x system system 2010-05-24 10:26 dalvik-cache drwxr-xr-x system system 2010-05-24 09:28 tombstones drwxrwx--x shell shell 2010-05-23 13:59 local drwxrwxr-x system system 2010-05-24 10:58 system drwxrwx--x system system 2010-05-23 13:59 app-private drwxrwx--x system system 2010-05-23 13:55 app drwxrwxrwx root root 2010-05-23 13:59 DxDrm drwxr-x--- root log 2010-05-23 13:59 dontpanic drwxrwxrwx bluetooth bluetooth 2010-05-24 10:27 btips drwxrwx--x system system 2010-05-23 14:00 anr drwx------ root root 2010-05-24 10:22 property lrwxrwxrwx root root 2010-05-23 16:39 drm -> /data/local drwxrwx--t system misc 2010-05-23 13:59 misc drwxr-xr-x root root 2008-08-01 05:00 data -rw-r--r-- root root 11936 2008-08-01 05:00 firstboot.sh drwx------ system system 2010-05-24 10:26 backup -rw-rw-rw- media system 2 2010-05-24 10:58 pvcodec.txt drwxrwx--- root root 2010-05-23 13:59 lost+found drwxrwxrwx wimax wimax 2010-05-23 13:59 wimax that is what happens when i run the adb shell. but i started the instructions over again from the begining before i did this and like i said in another post all of the apps (including my stock apps) are now in my internal memory so i only have 49.65mb of space left in the internal memory
the first 2 commands worked but when i entered the third command this came up: # a2sd repair Starting Apps2SD script for DConfig at 05-24-2010 17:04:21 setting variables from default dc.conf in /system/etc/ : not found : not found : not found : not found : not found : not found : not found : not found : not found : not found : not found : not found : not found [ ] checking variables [ ] Searching for Mount Point...

what do you mean? i am just using the Ic3 rom and following the instructions... did i do something horribly wrong?
i just started all over right now and deleted all of the files from my phone's sdcard and now i flashed my ROM back after doing the partition sdcard thing and right now am copying all of my files back over to the phone. i'll tell you how it goes after that transfers over ok here is what happened after i started over... it said the same thing lol, so should i just reboot and see if it works?
I admit I'm stupid can someone guide me through storing to SD, in the most noon terms? I have aloysious v12 if it matters
App2SD update.zip **UPDATED V1.1** **NEW** try this, sorry this is for the samsung moment, but try sdx for your model
hmmm i would guess that if its a ROM that has a option to check just uncheck or maybe adb uninstall. or format your mem card and if the partion isnt on their, apps will install to internal mem and a2sd will still be there if you ever want it again.
